Since Kevin and I have lived in Washington State the entire time we've been married, before having kids we always travelled for the holidays. We would rotate between seeing his family in Atlanta and my family in Chicago and we always had a great time. When I was pregnant with Lleyton, we couldn't travel on Christmas because I was 2 weeks from my due date. As we planned our holiday in the house we had just moved into a few months before, we decided to create our own traditions. One of those ... continue reading...
Farro with Caramelized Fennel and Oranges
I'm one of those people that gets super excited about the bulk bins of grocery stores. When we used to live in Tacoma, the grocery store we went to had the most amazing bulk food section I've ever been too.

Pork and Pumpkin Stew
In this recipe I'm unveiling one of my little secrets: I love to add a cup or so of pumpkin puree to soups and strews.

I ... continue reading...
Chicken Parmesan Gnocchi Bake
My wonderful husband of 5+ years, Kevin, has two favorite foods that I make: chicken fajita burritos, which we nickname "farritos," and chicken parmesan. There's a reason that these are his two favorite dishes. When we first met, we were brand new Military Police officers. Young second lieutenants who were training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, which is basically the middle of nowhere. Kevin has a lot of skills, but cooking isn't one of them. He's a grill master, but in a kitchen with a stove ... continue reading...
Orange Chocolate Chip Scones
I'm certainly not the first person to find oranges and chocolate to be a delicious combination, but if you've never tried those flavors together, please let me be the first to introduce you to orange chocolate chip scones! The bright orange zest combined with the rich chocolate is the perfect combination for a crumbly scone, best alongside a steaming cup of coffee. I've been brainstorming new ways to use winter citrus since I had to bid farewell to summer berries. Thankfully, orange is ... continue reading...
